To an whom it may concern:

Our composition consists of the followingingredients, combined in the proportions stated, viz: based on a barrel of fifty gallons, coaltar, thirty-six gallons; creosote, eight gallons; linseed-oil, two gallons; asphaltum varnish, two gallons; fine salt, ten pounds. These ingredients are stirred until thoroughly mixed.

In the use of the above-specified rubber roof-paint it has been found that it not only is waterproof, but that it preserves the metal to which it is applied, and thus prolongs the life of the same to an appreciable extent. Further, it has been demonstrated that this paint does not crack or peel OE and is therefore adapted for use in all climates.

What we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The herein-described paint, consisting of coal-tar, creosote, linseed-oil, asphaltum varnish, and fine salt, substantially as described and for the purpose specified. A
